Abstract: Method for data maintenance in an offline-distributed database network system (DBNS) which comprises a central system (CS) having a central database (CD), and a number of node systems (NS) having local databases (LD), with the local databases (LD) at least in some cases containing different subsets of the data from the central database (CD), change information relating to the data stored in the databases (CD, LD) in the database network system (DBNS) being recorded in a number of node systems (NS), the change information for an existing online connection being transmitted as replication objects, which are structured in a number of different types and contain an identification key, from the node systems to the central system or from the central system to the node systems and, if there is no online connection, the replication objects being prepared, in an outbound queue, for subsequent transmission.     The replication objects together with the change information are allocated as responsibles to the node systems (NS) to which they are intended to be transmitted by means of at least one lookup table (LUT) in a replication algorithm in the central system (CS), and the at least one lookup table is updated, in a realignment algorithm, taking account of the change information.

Filed: 2002-03-25
Granted: 2005-08-16
Abstract: An apparatus for forming a bathtub liner over an existing bathtub comprising a container, a seal, a heating element, and a pressure increasing element. The container defines a cavity. The seal is associated with cavity and is capable of forming a substantially continuous seal with a bathtub liner. The heating element is capable of heating the cavity, and in turn, the liner.

IPC: G01N33/566
Filed: 2001-11-05
Granted: 2012-05-01
Abstract: A system and method for characterizing carbohydrate polymers according to maps obtained from experimental data. Preferably, the data is obtained from a plurality of different types of experimental assays for characterizing the carbohydrate polymer. More preferably, at least one such assay involves binding a saccharide-binding agent to the carbohydrate polymer. One or more features of the carbohydrate polymer are then preferably characterized. These features are preferably derived from maps of the data obtained from assays involving the sample carbohydrate polymer. These maps are more preferably analyzed at a plurality of levels, with each level providing more abstract biological information. Most preferably, new types of experimental data are introduced to the process of analysis at each level, in order to support more complex analyses of the data. Optionally and most preferably, maps are eliminated at each level as being inconsistent with the experimental data. New maps are most preferably added at a higher level only if they are derived from the new experimental data which has been introduced at that level, in order to prevent a combinatorial explosion at successive levels of data analysis.

Abstract: A material to reduce the effects of trauma received from the impact of a projectile. One embodiment is a needle-punched, non-woven material including at least one type of ballistic fibers selected and oriented to provide a cushioning effect and maintain a high compressive restitution constant. A percentage of the fibers are oriented with at least their ends lying approximately perpendicular to the fabric plane and/or oriented to lie in a waveform generally along or parallel to the fabric plane. This enables the ends of the fibers lying perpendicular to the fabric plane to cushion the impact from the projectile by dissipating energy through compressional resistance, and the fibers along the fabric plane to reduce energy through dispersal along fiber lines, thereby reducing the trauma resulting from an impact.

Abstract: The process for making a shaped snack chip uses various components to form a chip having depth such as a bowl-shaped tortilla chip. The chips are formed by sheeting into an initial flat shape. The chips are then passed along for shaping by a mold and plunger conveyor (60). Once plunged to the mold shape, the chips are reduced in moisture content by baking and frying. After frying, oil is evacuated from the chips whereafter salt and flavoring is applied, if desired, prior to being packaged.

Title: Variable polarization independent optical power splitter
Inventor: WU KEYU
IPC: G02B27/10
Filed: 2004-04-30
Granted: 2009-09-22
Abstract: An optical power splitter for variably splitting an arbitrarily polarized light beam into two or more light beams, is disclosed. An input light beam "A" is received and split it into two output light beams "M" and "N" where the optical power ratio of the two output light beams "M" and "N" is adjusted to a desired ratio by controlling a variable polarization rotator (liquid crystal unit). The polarization components "P' and "S" of the input light beam "A" are separated in a first polarization separator (birefringent displacer), then processed through the variable polarization rotator and a second polarization separator. Finally the processed optical components are recombined in a polarization combiner so as to constitute the desired output light beams "M" and "N" having the desired optical power ratio "R". The polarization independence of the power split is thus achieved through the stratagem of processing the "P" and "S" polarized components of the input light beam "A" separately - resulting in four light beams "H, "I", "L" and "K" which appropriately combined in the polarization combiner yield the output light beams "M" and "N". A number of embodiments are disclosed with different optical technology in the second polarization separator (Wollaston prism) and the variable polarization rotator (mechanically or electro-mechanically adjusted wave plate), with optical deflection means (for physical compactness) and photo detectors (for optical power monitoring), as well as an embodiment for a four-way split.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des méthodes chimiopréventives et des formulations topiques destinées à la prévention et au traitement de cancers de la peau, de lésions pré-cancéreuses et de troubles hyperprolifératifs induits par les ultraviolets chez des mammifères, tel que les humains. Lesdites méthodes et formulations font appel à des anti-inflammatoires non stéroïdiens. De faibles doses d'anti-inflammatoires non stéroïdiens sont présentes dans les formulations topiques et permettent une utilisation régulière continue sur une durée prolongée pour prévenir de tels troubles. En particulier, la présente invention est notamment appropriée pour les cancers de la peau avec mélanome bénin étant donné que ces cancers tendent à apparaître dans des endroits de la peau qui ont été surexposés au soleil (tête, cou et bras), ce qui signifie qu'il n'est pas nécessaire d'appliquer l'agent chimiopréventif sur l'ensemble du corps du patient type. De plus, il est possible d'identifier des individus à "hauts risques" au sein des populations étant donné que les gens qui présentent un épisode de cancer de la peau avec mélanome bénin ont tendance à avoir une incidence élevée d'un épisode subséquent.
